Unfortunately, the file download appears in the middle of a very long page sequence (40+), each of which uses a Link Parser to pass hidden fields on to the next request. No matter where the file requests are made, they create a break in the chain of forms :/
Do you think it would be possible to make use of the View Results Tree to access previous results, given that it can be set to cache all results ? Maybe a simple Post Processor that holds the results for later parsing would also work. Due to time constraints, I cannot currently take the time to split the Link Parser into two entities, but I may be able to knock up a simple 'data store' type post processor. If I do this, how easy would it be to crawl the Test Element tree, to find the relevant 'data store' element ? Thanks for the help and ideas ;) Geoff -----Original Message----- From: sebb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 June 2006 11:32 To: JMeter Developers List Subject: Re: How to access a response other than the most recent I'm not sure you can do that - the previous sample is saved locally, and is not in any tree. Although one could additionally save the next last sample, this would not be a generic solution. Can you download the file first? The Link Parser is a bit odd, as it is a Pre-Processor and a Post-Processor in one. Perhaps you can create a version that splits it in two - one part extracts the links, the other applies them. S.
